Stay Creative

Small things that could have impact on your creativity. Of course it’s always personal, but still is a great short movie.

 

Internet Information Bubble – Ideas worth spreading – TED

Filter Bubble

Have you try to find out something that is not really in your competition. e.g. you are web designer and your are trying to find information about the sports events and rules. It’s hard to filter all the content that the major search providers are giving to us. The content is too personalized and not so much relevant. In fact we did choose this, by telling the providers to personalize our content. So it’s kind of our fault.

Take a 10min break and watch the bellow movie, it’s worth the time.
Then go to http://duckduckgo.com/ and try searching something. Do you make the difference ?

If you don’t have 10 mins, just check out what I mean by term bubble: http://dontbubble.us/ or http://scroogle.org/

Windless Fun at Salvo

Posted by on 10/05/2011 1 comment

The winter season is over and it’s time to head back to upcoming summer. At the time posting that I’m a little bit more souther and weather is summer here. The temperatures are around 67 degree F which should be around 20 Celsius, which is good enough for me to kiteboard or swin in the ocean/ water pool.

As the last two days are so windless, I mean really windless like 5 to 8 knots. It’s impossible to kite even with big kites like 14m sizes. We did spend our time at the ocean beach under the warm sun light thinking what we can do. Then we had back to the house where we decide to do some jump into the pool. It was our best chance for fun at such windless day.
Finally it became one small amazing day full of joy. Here is an shorty video from today

 

Bike Weekend iMovie

Posted by on 06/07/2010 No comments

Unfortunately last days I’m spending a lot of time at home because I’m sick. However I’ve managed to turn that so called “bad” time in something fun and nice by compiling a movie from my Bike trip on June 26th.

The trip to Tryavna was not only about biking, actually we’ve gather together to celebrate our dear friend Yana, Birthday and her name-day. The place is offering a very good trails for biking(either DH or AL), so Yana recommended to me over the phone that I’ve should bring my bike.  So this is what happened indeed, we’ve gather to celebrate on Friday night with beer and BBQ and on saturday morning after everyone awaken we gather together and choose the route. It was more than nice XC trail with a lot of great view and some technical parts. It was around 30km long. Here you can see only the last 3.25 km of downhill cuz I’ve forgot to start my App earlier.

After this trail I was still having an anger for a little bit more pedaling, so I’ve remembered that there was a geocache(this is something which I also love to do, but some other time for it) nearby Tryavna, which actually I could not find last time when I was in Tryavna, It was about 2 years ago. The target was clear so I’ve gone for second bike run + geocaching hunt. Fortunately this time I’ve found the cache and it turns out that from it’s final  coordinates there was a great marked trail downhill to the city. Instead of logging the speed and route, I’ve record raw movies with the help of my latest gadgets: Jobypod for iPhone. With this gadget I’ve manage to mount my iPhone to my bike bar. Sometime soon I hope I can tell you a little bit more about Jobypod in Products section.

So here is the final thing that I was performing today : The post-editing which I’ve done with very handy iMovie, it’s quiet easy and self explaning, you can also watch a lot of great video tutorials from apple website. It offers you a great video stabilization for movies with actions + you can perform very smooth transition and audio+video matching. It’s the perfect home editing tool. It took me more time to find the music which is suitable match  for my videos, than organizing and setting all the text, transitions, fades and animations. Note: For sure some of the features like video stabilization are going to take you a lot of time, if you don’t have a fast CPU.

So here is the final result of my afternoon work:

I hope you gonna like it, all feedback is welcomed all the time.

Small Europe

Posted by on 13/11/2009 1 comment

A month ago something enormously fast and unexpected happened to me.
Some of you probably don’t know what’s my regular job is. I’m working as a service technician in Siemens Enterprise Networks(SEN), supporting SEN call center application, called ProCenter or Contact Center. The thing is that we support the whole world except USA so from time to time someone from our team needs to go on customer site for troubleshooting /upgrading customers servers. Which in general is great, because you meеt different people from different country’s, don’t forget that you are on business trip so you don’t have time for sights at all.

Back to the beginning, what happened last week: I just came back to work on Monday from 3 day vacation(connected with my birthday) on very second day, colleague of mine called me in the office with private request to replace him on customer site, from the very next day. After short look in my calendar I’ve realized that I don’t have plans for upcoming days so I accept the offer.
On the next day I’ve took a plain to Berlin at 7:50 in the morning. Two and half hours later I was in Berlin. I’ve checked in my hotel and in an hour I was in the office in Berlin. After the change of timezone -1 hour back my watch was showing 10:30 which is the regular start of my late shift. I was on time for work, 2500km away from home .
This makes think about the size of Europe and how a man can Work far away from home with just two more hours spending to travel with a plane.

Greetings from Berlin!  I will upload some pics.
